Chapter 2362 White's Opportunity and Crisis
The revised World Refining of Holy Apes and World in Sleeves, as Senior White put it, were "really easy to learn." They were specifically tailored for cultivators like Song Shuhang who lacked a solid theoretical foundation.
In the realm of cultivation, Song Shuhang could be considered a specialized scholar. When he studied blade techniques, body-tempering methods, and martial arts, his innate talent shone brightly.
Apart from blade, fist, and physique techniques, he excelled at grasping Senior White's modified magical spells.
Most cultivators typically adapted themselves to their techniques. At most, they would wait until their strength, realms, and theoretical knowledge improved before making minor adjustments to their cultivation methods for better compatibility.
However, most of the cultivation techniques that Song Shuhang practiced were tailored to suit him.
Therefore, having a group of reliable and friendly seniors or guides was invaluable on the path of cultivation.
As long as these seniors or masters were powerful enough, one could easily outperform other cultivators at the beginning of their journey.
"Understood. Thank you, Senior White. I'll start learning now," Song Shuhang replied enthusiastically.
"Go for it, Shuhang. By the way, I need some of the spring water from the 'living spring'... preferably the part where Pavilion Master Chu has soaked. Shuhang, prepare a few barrels and place them at the entrance of South Autumn Temple. Later, Fairy @#%× and I will come to collect the living spring water," Senior White instructed.
"No problem, Senior White. How many barrels do you need? I'll get them ready right away," Song Shuhang responded promptly.
As for the part involving spring water where Pavilion Master Chu had soaked... those words sounded a bit strange. However, it made sense. Pavilion Master Chu was a genuine immortal who had spent a long time immersed in the living spring. The downstream pond should have absorbed some of Pavilion Master Chu's aura of immortality and be potentially more effective than the upstream water.
"I could make a fortune just by selling the secret Immortal Spring Water recipe!" Song Shuhang thought while considering a money-making scheme.
In the small living spring, Pavilion Master Chu cast a glance at Song Shuhang. For some reason, she suddenly had the urge to hang him up and display him as a masterpiece.
Senior White replied, "Help me prepare ten barrels for now. Ordinary plastic barrels will do. I've already prepared the materials here. Next, we'll enter the experimental stage of the God Creation Plan, and we'll need the spring water from the living spring."
For the past few days, Senior White had been studying the water droplet from the Heavenly Dao Molt Ball in his hand. Additionally, he had obtained valuable experimental data from White Two.
Since the two Senior Whites had officially met, they had reached a consensus on many aspects and had begun sharing information.
Senior White Two was also actively participating in Senior White's God-Creation Plan and had provided substantial data about himself. The ruler of the Netherworld, Shadow Overlord, was also an essential part of their research. In many ways, he resembled the Netherworld's ruler.
"Alright, Senior White. Moreover, I've made a bet with Senior Three-Eyed for a bottle of 'Wielder of the Will's Eye Droplet,' which can activate the weak consciousness of a magical treasure or enable its evolution. I'll leave a small portion of it near the 'living spring.' Senior White, your 'Meteor Sword' should be able to benefit from this eye drop," Song Shuhang informed.
"That sounds promising. I'll gladly accept it," Senior White replied with a faint smile and added, "Oh... Lend me your wooden body for experimentation. I'll provide you with an even more potent wooden body when we're done!"
Song Shuhang didn't hesitate and responded straightforwardly. He figured that the ten buckets of living spring Senior White requested were for the wooden body.
"No problem," Song Shuhang agreed. He had regrown his body and could continue to grow it like a lizard's tail, so he no longer required the wooden body as a substitute.
"That's settled for now. I'll reach out to you if I need anything else…" After conveying all this information, Senior White paused briefly. He remembered something else and added, "By the way, Shuhang, if you have the time, please keep an eye out for any Plant Fairies that are about to form their sentience or have recently developed signs of waking. If you come across any, bring them to me. I want to provide them with an opportunity."
"Is it related to the God Creation Plan?" Song Shuhang inquired.
Senior White responded with a "Yes."
"Is it dangerous?" Song Shuhang questioned while recalling the plant demon that was on the verge of forming a sentience. He immediately thought of Miruru.
However, Miruru was different from ordinary monsters. Song Shuhang intended to take her as his new disciple, and even the Daoist name 'Priest Mu' had been reserved for her. They shared a master-disciple relationship. If the situation proved too hazardous, it might not be suitable for her to participate.
"There's a certain level of risk involved. If you're unlucky, the 'sentience' it has painstakingly gathered could scatter, and it might even lose all its cultivation and revert to an ordinary plant," Senior White cautioned.
"Scatter?" Song Shuhang mused. He held the eye drops in his possession. If Miruru's intelligence were to scatter, perhaps he could use the drops to help her recover.
His only concern was whether the newly condensed sentience and the scattered sentience would still be the same Miruru.
"Do you have a suitable candidate?" Senior White inquired.
Song Shuhang replied, "There's a tree monster in my Inner World. It failed to transcend its tribulation back then and left behind only a new sprout. This new sprout has recently reassembled its sentience. There's a master-disciple karmic connection between us. Senior White, please wait a moment. I'll ask her and see if she can make a decision."
lightsΝοvel.cοm Although her sentience had just formed, she should be capable of making simple judgments.
With a thought, Song Shuhang's body instantly moved to the side of the tree monster Miruru's new sprout.
Sensing Song Shuhang's presence, the new sprout's branches and leaves rustled happily.
It was just like an adorable pet.
Song Shuhang gently tapped Miruru's new bud while being cautious not to apply too much pressure to avoid accidentally harming her.
"Miruru, there's a significant opportunity—a life-altering one, but it comes with great danger. Are you willing to give it a try?" Song Shuhang asked. The opportunity provided by Senior White was a genuine White Clan opportunity, where danger and opportunity went hand in hand.
Miruru's bud swayed gently.
After a moment, her bud gently tapped back and conveyed a weak affirmative response.
It was reminiscent of when Song Shuhang had typed his first message in the Nine Provinces Number One Group.
Even though the path of cultivation was fraught with danger, Song Shuhang had chosen this path and wouldn't pass up a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity just because of potential risks.
When it came to dangers like heavenly tribulations, inner demons, and cultivation mistakes, any of them could be a calamity that would annihilate one's cultivation.
After receiving Miruru's positive response, Song Shuhang breathed a sigh of relief. As expected, he and Miruru were on the same page.
